Chapter 311: Chapter 311

"If you’re willing to abandon the dark and come to the light, I can help you completely break free from Gu Shifang’s control!"

The other party laughed. "Well, I really should thank you for that! However, do you really think such a simple-minded strategy of sowing discord can save your life? Li Tianyao delaying time won’t help An Yan; it will actually hasten her death, you know."

Li Tianyao showed no sign of panic. "How so?"

Buddha didn’t deny it. "Because there’s a bomb in Luo Zi’ang’s heart, and that building is constructed from a special material. The bomb won’t be triggered unless he leaves. As soon as he leaves that building, the bomb will be activated immediately. In no more than thirty seconds, it will go BOOM! By then, both he and An Yan will be blown to pieces."

Li Tianyao didn’t show it on the surface, but his toes subconsciously pointed in An Yan’s direction, and his gaze followed. Through the tall glass windows, he saw An Yan carrying Luo Zi’ang to the stairwell of that building. Just a few more steps and they would be out.

Li Tianyao lifted his leg to go. But the moment he moved, dense red lasers appeared on the walls around him. This was a cage built specifically for him!

An Yan was carrying Luo Zi’ang. She walked down the stairs step by step, just a few steps away from leaving. No one stopped her outside. It was quiet and calm. Luo Zi’ang’s grizzled head rested on her shoulder, swaying slightly with her movements. His body had weakened to the extreme, and although he had taken a Cultivation Pill, he was still unconscious. Who knows how much he had suffered these days.

An Yan stepped out of the stairwell.

A soft sound pierced the silence. It made An Yan come to a sharp halt. The sound seemed to come from within the Old Master’s body!

Frowning, An Yan listened closely. After the BEEP, there was a series of soft ticking sounds. It sounded like the countdown of an activated bomb.

"Miss, there’s something on the Old Master," Wen Ya also heard it.

An Yan’s expression changed drastically. Carrying the Old Master, she hurried back inside the building. If there was a bomb on the Old Master, it had to be dismantled immediately!

But once inside the building, the ticking stopped.

"Is it a bomb?" Wen Ya patted down the Old Master’s body. "No, Miss, there’s nothing on the Old Master!"

If it wasn’t on his body, could it be inside?

An Yan pulled open the Old Master’s shirt. She simultaneously activated her Clairvoyant Ability. Then she saw an implanted bomb right where the Old Master’s heart was! Not under the skin, but within the heart itself, between the two atria!

At this point, the bomb had fallen silent, and the ticking had stopped.

So, Grandpa can’t leave this building?

An Yan pondered for a moment. "Wen Ya, Wen Ge, take some people and check if there’s any kind of jamming device in this building."

The sisters acknowledged and immediately began to search. About fifteen minutes later, they finally found the problem.

"It’s the walls!" Wen Ya said, "Miss, these walls contain a specific substance that can jam the signal between the bomb and its detonator." As she spoke, Wen Ya used a tool to break open a section of the wall. In the concrete, a type of black, sand-like substance was discovered. These sand-like materials were mixed and fixed within the concrete; it was simply impossible to extract them.

An Yan said, "It seems this bomb is activated by an electronic signal."

"What does that mean?" Wen Ya was confused. "Doesn’t a bomb, once activated, keep counting down until it’s defused or explodes?"

An Yan explained, "A countdown needs a continuous signal to run. If there’s an electronic signal, it starts counting. If the signal is lost, it stops! Wen Ya, bring me my medical kit. I need to perform surgery on Grandpa."

It’s just a bomb. I’ll just take it out.

When Li Tianyao saw An Yan retreat back into the building, he understood she wasn’t in immediate danger. But he didn’t believe this person had gone to such lengths merely to give An Yan time to remove the bomb. For origınal chapters go to NovєlFіre.net

"What else have you done?"

Buddha on the screen smiled. "Besides being activated by an electronic signal, the bomb is also connected to Luo Zi’ang’s heart. If his heart rate exceeds a certain threshold, it will still go BOOM!"

"What will it take for you to spare Luo Zi’ang?" Li Tianyao asked.

"Naturally, it’s you." Buddha pressed a button on a remote. Beside him, a cage made of fine steel slowly rolled out. It was two meters tall, with a base area of less than four square meters. Each steel bar was engraved with talismans. Li Tianyao could feel the overwhelming malevolence within the cage. If I go in, my cultivation will be suppressed.

"Li Tianyao, if you enter, Luo Zi’ang will be safe!"

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you. But for every minute you delay, An Yan’s progress over there will be prolonged by a minute. When she cuts open Luo Zi’ang’s chest and saws through his sternum, do you think his heart rate won’t fluctuate? Don’t even think about your drones. This building and that one are both constructed with new materials. Their main feature is blocking all electronic signals, so An Yan has no idea what she’s truly facing!"

Without a second’s hesitation, Li Tianyao stepped towards the cage.

A triumphant smile touched Buddha’s lips.

"Ninth Master, don’t do it!" Lu Feng and Lin Ling, who had followed him, shouted in unison from the other side of the red line. Even though they didn’t know what was peculiar about the cage, they were certain that if Ninth Master fell into the enemy’s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ninth Master, think about Miss An Yan! If she finds out you sacrificed yourself to save her, what do you think she’ll do? She might choose to take him down with her! Don’t listen to him! If we fight, we might still have a chance!"

Li Tianyao glanced at the dense web of lasers surrounding him and chuckled softly. With a snap of his fingers, the laser net suddenly disappeared.

Buddha on the screen visibly faltered for a moment, then laughed again. "Nice move! But Li Tianyao, do you think you can win ? I anticipated you might destroy the laser emitters. So... look over there!"

Li Tianyao turned his head. All the doors and windows of the building An Yan was in had been sealed shut. An image of An Yan was currently displayed on its exterior wall. She was washing her hands and disinfecting them! The next step was surgery.

Li Tianyao’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. My first instinct is to grab this man and force him to turn off the detonation device.

"Don’t bother guessing where I am. I’m in a place far, far away from this industrial park. After all, you can teleport! I have to guard against that, right? Of course, you can disbelieve me and search around. But it seems you’re running out of time."

Li Tianyao stopped searching. Knowing he couldn’t capture his adversary immediately, he dared not waste any more time. With a thought, he teleported to the front of the building where An Yan was. He had intended to teleport directly inside, but the building was indeed peculiar; his Teleportation ability surprisingly failed.
